Really outstanding for the price. Literally shaving sharp out of the box. I had an original back in the day with the zytel handle. It seemed just not quite right. I lost it on a road trip and replaced it with something else. As a lark I checked what the old version was selling for, ouch! I saw this version and for the price I could use it as a trash knife plus a bit of nostalgia. Nostalgia yes, trash no. This version is very good it holds an edge and sharpens better than the original. Very old school no pocket clip, lock-back design and thumb stud opening, heavy enough to cover most cutting tasks done and do so with style.
